TWO FOR TUESDAY {REDO}


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.



Lost
Avenged Sevenfold

Centuries passed and still the same
War in our blood
Some things never change
Fighting for land and personal gain
Better your life
Justify our pain
The end is knocking
The end is knocking

We’ve all
Been lost for most of this life
Lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn
More hatred surrounds us
And I know
That most of us just ain’t right
Most of us just ain’t right
Following the wrong steps
Being led by pride

How many lives will we take
How many hearts destined to break
Nowhere to run
Can’t escape
Follow the Son
Time to obey
The end is knocking
The end is knocking

We’ve all
Been lost for most of this life
Lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn
More hatred surrounds us
And I know
That most us just ain’t right
Most of us just ain’t right
Following the wrong steps
Being led by pride

With peace of mind so hard to find
We’re dwelling on the drastic signs
Another way to numb our mind
And as you close your eyes tonight
And pray for a better life
You’ll see it flying helplessly away

We’ve all
Been lost for most of this life
Lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn
More hatred surrounds us
And I know
That most us just ain’t right
Most of us just ain’t right
Following the wrong steps
Being led by pride

We’ve all
Been lost for most of this life
Lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn
More hatred surrounds us
And I know
That most us just ain’t right
Most of us just ain’t right
Following the wrong steps
Being led by pride

We’ve all
Been lost for most of this life
Lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn
More hatred surrounds us
And I know
That most us just ain’t right
Most of us just ain’t right
Following the wrong steps
Being led by pride



Dear God
Avenged Sevenfold
A lonely road
Crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Purpose hard to find
While I recall
All the words you spoke to me
Can’t help but wish that I was there
Back where I’d love to be
Oh yeah

Dear God
The only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I’m not around
When I’m much too far away
We all need
That person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
‘Cause I’m lonely
And I’m tired
I’m missing you again
Oh no
Once again

There’s nothing here
For me on this barren road
There’s no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can’t help but think
Of the times I’ve had with you
Pictures and some memories
Will have to help me through
Oh yeah

Dear God
The only thing I ask of You
Is to hold here when I’m not around
When I’m much too far away
We all need
That person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
“Cause I’m lonely
And I’m tired
I’m missing you again
Oh no
Once again

Some search
Never finding a way
Before long
They waste away
I found you
Something told me to stay
I gave in
To selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade

A lonely road
Crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Purpose hard to find

Dear God
The only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I’m not around
When I’m much too far away
We all need
The person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
“Cause I’m lonely
And I’m tired
I’m missing you again
Oh no
Once again

  1. Thanks for letting me know that the Lost video that was originally posted here had been removed from YouTube, my dear Ettarose. Since "Lost" serves as a good example of the way most of their music sounds, I wanted it to be heard. For "Dear God" is quite a departure. I hope you enjoy both songs.

  2. I much agree, not all songs fit the Christian profile but they can still deliver a message to God's people. The video was gone but the words still carry the feelings. The message of lost lives and lost relationships; are just the thing that scripture addresses. Not every epistle is canonized. In these times we must seek to reach the ear that is listening.
    Blessings,
    Matt.
